BRT corridor set to expand as Delhi government seeks solution to traffic issues

Nearly a month after the Ministry of Urban Development gave a go ahead to the Delhi government to lay out its plan to decongest the city, the transport department has set out to breathe a new life into the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project.

While department officials have rubbished the layout of the present BRT corridor plan, 14 BRT corridors are all set to be laid out.

At a high-level meeting conducted by the L-G’s committee on air and water pollution, the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) was asked to re-evaluate the 14 corridors and suggest the ones which are most viable.

While the corridors are likely to be finalised soon, routes which have more than 60 metre of right-of-way will be given priority.

After this exercise, a detailed project report will be submitted. It was also decided at the meeting that the dedicated bus corridor would be open to all types of buses and not just DTC and cluster buses.
